Verses I learned are:

You can talk about your peaches
Your apples and your pears
Your cinnamon hanging on the cinnamon tree (???)
But of all the fruit my honey
Of all that fruit that grows
That watermelon is the one for me

Chorus (same as Bud's but with "Possum meat instead of rabbit)

And when I went to fetch it
Was on a winter's night
The moon as yet had not begun to shine
When that farmer saw me, he shot me through the head
I never got that melon from the vine.
